i have red lumps and a pussy spot in my throat, will attach a picture, doctors told me anxiety but i am coughhing up brown mucus and wheezing, am scared hopefully someone can put me at ease as the doctors wont help me
If I was you I would be making another appointment with a different doctor and getting a second opinion, it could be a bacterial infection or nothing but best to be checked.
Yes Alexandria made a good suggestion there -get a second opinion -& show a picture to get your description across clearly
Or -if possible see if you can get a hospital appointment in the relevant department -(maybe ear nose & throat (ENT ) section?
hi sorry for late reply, i sent a picture to my another doctor today who also said it is nothing just swelling and irritation.. it does not hurt at all i wouldnt even know its there other than keep clearing my throat and when i looked i saw this! im so worried about cancer and have had uncontrolable anxiety about it for 2 years since my nan died from it, i have an appointment next wednesday at my gp surgery but apprantly my gp has to refer me to an ENT at my local hospital, im only 24 and i feel so lost and confused because of my anxiety its horrible, sorry if i sound silly
no you dont sound silly
It’s an absolutely horrendous way to live your life with a fear of some perticular illness/disease that we become convinced is going to kill us, sooner than later, how old was your gran, did she drink heavily, smoke, carry excess weight, no exercise, have other underlying health issues etc
Sadly a lot of us suffer with anxiety and health anxiety is usually the root of it as we have an over active fear of death.
At 24 and with healthy life choices you will live to be a good age and the chances of that being cancer after your 2 doctors telling you it’s not is millions 2 one so forget that option, you say you keep clearing your throat, that will definitely cause inflammation and as long as you keep doing it the more it will continue.
Suck a boiled sweet or sip water to stop the chain reaction
